Nerfing the shit out of the KV8???
It's actually not slow. It has slow acceleration. Besides that the nerf sounds far worse than it is. It kills rather often due to flame crits.
Nerfing the 122mm mortar???
Doctrine specific, super high cost, terrible accuracy.
Still laughing.
Dude, come on. You have no idea of this game if you say the 120mm mortar is super high cost and has terrible accuracy. It had a lower cost than the leIG and the Pack Howitzer, yet was better than both of them. It was actually massively overperforming, that's why the changes were suggested, tested and implemented. 2.25 radius where it was always lethal to infantry. Now that is a 1.75 radius (roughly), but to make up for that it deals twice the damage if you are a bit further away from the explosion.
Why this way? This reduced squad wiping, but keeps the overall damage dealt by the mortar similar. Additionally the 120mm mortar can keep his 120 damage with such a change, which adds to the flavor of the unit and gives it a real punch if hitting light vehicles.
